    Fédéralisme belge et venue shopping : le cas de la téléphonie mobile

    The institutional change, noticed in 2009 in the Belgian mobile telecommunications’ policy, is remarkable. Taking into account that federal states make the achievement of advocacy coalitions’ strategies easier, this article is based on the assumption that, in addition to the institutionalist theory, federalization may be explained by strategies of “losing coalitions”—who want a privileged position in public policies—on venues and on framing. Furthermore, leaning on the path opened up by advocacy coalitions, institutions—in this situation Regions—can also be conceived as strategic actors, increasing their autonomy in a centrifugal federal state.
